The import of collages and similar decorative plaques to the UK is forecasted to decline significantly from 2024 to 2028. The import volume is projected to decrease from 150.63 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 60.86 thousand kilograms in 2028. This represents a substantial year-on-year decline. The period shows a clear downward trend in import volumes with a significant reduction in demand or possible substitution by other products. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years indicates a continuous and steep decrease. In 2023, the actual import volume stood considerably higher than in subsequent years.
Future trends to watch:
- Emergence of alternative decorative products that may fulfill similar consumer needs.
- Changes in trade policies post-Brexit impacting import costs and procedures.
- Currency fluctuations affecting import pricing.
- Shifts in consumer preferences towards locally produced or sustainable options.
